Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

Trumpian imperialism in action: kidnap the head of the regime, leaving the rest of it in place so as to access the oil reserves for the US companies. Then realize the oil is actually quite expensive to extract, so go ahead and SUBSIDIZE the oil companies. Perfect.

David Behringer told us, “If you’re drinking water, you’re drinking a lot of TFA". A type of PFAS, classed by German regulators as 'reprotoxic' - potentially damaging to fertility + child development - TFA is produced when F-gases used in refrigeration, or PFAS in pesticides begin to degrade.

Genuine question: What happens if Dems somehow have the coherence and spine to extract a "force Trump not to derail renewables" concession from Repubs on "permitting reform," then Trump's handlers just... ignore it? Who forces their hand? The courts, appeals courts, and eventually Supremes. . . . ?

Pundit supporters of "permitting reform" sweep aside (& do not understand) ecology & community.
In their ignorance, they seek to confine the decision-making space to energy infrastructure.
This invariably leads to doomed conflict btw/energy infrastructure + ecological & community systems.
